Chapter 496 The two countries want to form a friendly alliance and fight against the Moon Kingdom together
Bai Tianhao was certainly unwilling to accept this, but he never showed any expression, so his unwillingness was not that obvious.
"So what if you can't swallow it? Our two countries have already signed a ceasefire and peace treaty with the Moon Country. We must not engage in further fighting for at least five years."
"We have to maintain this for at least three years, not five. Otherwise, no matter how people view us, they will all say we are untrustworthy."
If the royal family and the national master lose the trust of the people of the world, the consequences will be very serious. Bai Tianhao does not want to gamble with such a thing.
Nangong Yunhe said: "I don't want to start a war again. This incident proves that it will not work at all."
"Xiao Ying has become the Imperial Master of Yue Nation. It is impossible for him to go to our country again."
"The Quiet Lady Kingdom and the Moon Kingdom have formed an alliance again. This is extremely dangerous for both our countries."
"Therefore, our two countries must also form an alliance. Only in this way can we counter the Moon Kingdom."
"After forming an alliance, our trust in each other will deepen. Only when the masters of the two countries are of the same spirit can we achieve success."
Otherwise, they will be defeated one by one like this time, leading to failure.
Bai Tianhao did not refute this time.
If the Yue Kingdom had not threatened them to withdraw their troops, they would probably have died.
Suddenly, there were two masters at the ninth level of Qi Refining in Yue Country. That's right, they already knew that Ling Yun was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, not the perfect level of Qi Refining, which made them feel relieved.
But when he thought that Xiao Ying, who was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, could seriously injure the two of them who had reached the perfect stage of Qi Refining, he held his breath back.
There are so many masters in the Moon Country all of a sudden. If they continue to fight alone, they will be swallowed up by the Moon Country sooner or later.
"How do you want to form an alliance?" Bai Tianhao softened his tone, then frowned again: "After all, you are only the State Master of Jing State, not the ancestor of the Jing State Royal Family. Can you make the final decision on the alliance?"
Nangong Yunhe said: "The royal family has been in decline for a long time, but I can still do this."
The royal family of Jing Kingdom is different from that of the other three kingdoms. Their royal ancestor has been dead for seven or eight years, which has led to a gap in strength.
Now this old ancestor is still trying to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining. He has been in seclusion for many years and did not even show up at this auction.
However, the royal family did send people over, and they should have taken pictures of some elixirs.
Once he is sent back, the ancestor of the royal family will have the opportunity to enter the ninth level of Qi Refining.
This has also led to the royal family becoming increasingly dependent on the imperial tutor in recent years.
"But you are right. We have to inform the royal family about this matter no matter what." Nangong Yunhe said again.
"Then how do you want to form an alliance?" Bai Tianhao asked again.
Nangong Yunhe smiled and said, "The best way to form an alliance is naturally through marriage. His Majesty the King of Jing has not yet appointed a queen, and only has a few concubines."
"Why don't you send a princess from your Anlan Kingdom to marry? She'll become the queen and won't suffer any loss."
Bai Tianhao fell silent. This was indeed a good idea.
There are several princesses in Anlan Kingdom who have no spiritual roots and are of the right age. The royal family has raised them for so long, and it is time for them to contribute.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Nangong Yunhe speak again.
"Brother Bai, don't think of marrying off any princess. Our King Jing is at least in the middle stage of Qi Refining. Your Anlan Kingdom must at least have a princess in the middle stage of Qi Refining. Only then will it be sincere."
Bai Tianhao's face immediately darkened, and he knew that this old man was up to something else.
Oh, it sounds nice, you'll be the queen if you marry her, but in the end, won't you just help the Jing Kingdom royal family to expand?
Not to mention the royal family like theirs, even in other small and medium-sized immortal cultivation families, women with spiritual roots would only marry men from within the family and there was no reason for them to marry out.
"I need to think about this matter again."
He did not agree immediately because he did not want Nangong Yunhe to get things done so easily. After all, he was not the most anxious one right now.
"Then Brother Bai, please consider it carefully and don't let me down."
Nangong Yunhe suppressed his smile and his eyes turned slightly cold.
Bai Tianhao was not afraid of him, so he naturally would not take his threat seriously.
…
Xiao Ying and others naturally didn't know what these two people were planning.
On the third day after the two men left Shangjing, she suddenly received news from He Changgui saying that the rubber tires had been produced.
I also packed a bicycle and a tricycle, hoping that she could go back and personally guide the experience.
Xiao Ying was very happy and amazed at these people's creativity and hard work. She had only provided a general direction, but she didn't expect these people to be so capable and produce results so quickly.
This time she brought Chen Xingyun along. When Chen Xingyun saw the two peculiarly shaped bicycles and tricycles, he was stunned.
Two-wheeled and three-wheeled vehicles can also run, so aren’t you afraid of falling?
When she saw Xiao Ying demonstrating how to ride a bike himself, she was amazed and became interested, so she tried it herself.
The result was naturally terrible. She fell over and over again, and she almost lost her temper.
Xiao Ying couldn't help laughing. This is how bicycles are. A beginner would need at least half a day or a day, or even two or three days to learn.
I have to say that the bicycles and tricycles this time are already quite decent.
Although it was made of wood, the tires were made of rubber, which was not much different from later generations.
A wooden bicycle like this costs less than two taels of silver.
Although rubber is expensive, since it is exchanged for storage bags, the storage bags can be priced at whatever price she says, right?
What remains is the cost of materials and labor, which costs less.
So she decided to set the price at three to six taels, according to the local consumption capacity of villages, towns, counties, and state capitals.
It is meant to benefit the people, so I don't intend to make too much money.
Tricycles are more expensive, priced between six and fifteen taels, and several styles will be made in the future, but they are still more cost-effective than ox carts.
Once both of these can be mass-produced, we can open a shop to sell them.
Besides, Bai Tianhao, who has already left Yue Kingdom, will also part ways with Nangong Yunhe.
Before leaving, Nangong Yunhe mentioned the marriage again, and this time Bai Tianhao did not refuse.
"But I still need to carefully consider the candidate. When the time is right, I will go to Jingguo in person to discuss it."
"That's great. I'll be waiting for Brother Bai in Jingguo."
Nangong Yunhe stroked his beard with a smile, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Finally, he glanced lightly at Bai Xuening who was not far away.
